Just as a way to get a dialog started what do you people consider you 2 most important goals: one can be thoecratic and the other more pragmatic. For example mine would be to (1) Make all the meetings, ( sometimes I dont wake up on sundays until 5 or 6 pm) (2) get into better shape. Jelly isnt just a nickname its a description.

Hi bod,
I also love school because i love to learn, even when i wasnt in college i was an avid reader. I am a mis major (managment information science) so your major and mine have some similarities. My point was that going to college was never somthing you could get disfellowshiped for, so if you wanted to go they couldnt stop you, in that sence there was never a ban, but the pressure to not go was, and still to lesser extent, great. -

Hi claudia, so you are a led zep fan, I myself go for the older stuff, beatels and stones, and 80's new wave. I like the idea of a music thread though.
p.s. Not many witnesses like led zep -

Hello Bod, thanks for the reply. Some semesters I go full time some part time ( i usually take between 9-12 units). I live at home and I work full time. The school schedule isnt to difficult because I work a compressed work week, which is made up of 12 hour shifts 3 or 4 days a week. I acutually have a pretty good job but it is demanding and due to health issues, (joint problems) I am not sure how many years I will be able to continue working there. When I was coming into the truth I was attending college and the only problem my family had with me being in the truth was the fact that I stopped going to college. The economy 20 years ago was much different than today, today a high school education dosnt really prepare you for any jobs that you can support a family with. There never was a ban on college it was just discourged, as a matter of fact one of the elders in my last kingdom hall had went to college because his father (who wasn't) in the truth wanted him to, and things worked out fine for him. Also in the last awake there was a fine experience of a man that came into the truth, finished law school and has been helping the society in legal cases since the 40's. I think the proper way to see education is a way to get the skills necessary to earn a living, not as a way to get rich, or find some form of worldly enlignment. Well I hope i didnt ramble to much but I am writing this post late at night, hope to hear from you agian.

Preaching_Work
by jelly inwhen do you think the preaching work will expand in china?
how about the middle east (iran, iraq, uae, etc)?
do you think the angels play a great role in getting honest harted people out of these countries( through emmigration) into lands where the preaching work is being conducted to a greater degree.

Do you think the angels play a great role in getting honest harted people out of these countries( through emmigration) into lands where the preaching work is being conducted to a greater degree. So maybe before the great tribulation the preaching work will not have to be expanded in those countries?I dont know, just a thought, or do you feel that the preaching work will be complete world wide to as great a degree as in western europe and the western hemishpere?

Simon, I liked your point on the 3 wise men.
When do you people think that the witnessing work will open up in China (to a greater degree)? How about the middle east (Iran, Iraq, etc)? -
